A Message from AIAA’s Executive Director, AIAA
“We are already starting to see the impact of the government travel policy on AIAA, with somewhat diminished attendance at our recently held Aerospace Sciences Meeting, especially among personnel from the U.S. Army, who have been prohibited from traveling to any type of conference. Our sister societies have likewise felt the impact of these rules, with some of them already having had to cancel their annual meetings on extremely short notice due to lack of agency support for speaker participation as well as attendance.”

    How is NASA going to get or retain good researchers and scientists, especially PhDs, if they can’t promise them two or three quality conference boondoggles a year??

    Oh, the humanity!
